ej_hall It's hard to find a song more beautiful than "Strengthen me with Raisins": it brings to mind Sufjan Stevens "John my Beloved" Both songs pick their way effortlessly along the tangled path of love, corporeal and divine. Favorite track: Strengthen Me With Raisins.

Lisa The songs on this are wonderfully catchy and the flow from one mood to the next works beautifully - like gemstones in a box, all shiny but different colours. Lovely instrumentations and a lot of heart, good to listen to on long train journeys. Favorite track: The Horses Are Stuck.

Adam Jones The album that got me into folk music, a joy to listen to from beginning to end. Favorite track: Go To Me.

Jn Fr Some songs almost seem to be a tad overproduced but nevertheless Jorden Klassen is in a league of his own most times. His prowess is a bit lost on pop songs like 'Go to me' but really shines in quieter and pensive moments like 'Goodhart's Law' or Strengthen Me...'. Favorite track: Goodhart's Law.

Trenton Gartke Repentance is the sparkling lemonade you sip through a paper straw from a mason jar as you survey the dusky conclusion of your best friend's backyard pinterest-globelights-bunting summer wedding and, as you bask in the warm glow of mingling friends, contemplate the tension between the goodness of life and the unstoppable force of change keeping you in precarious balance over the waterfall of eternity. Favorite track: The Horses Are Stuck.

rainy armstrong One of my favourite of all-time albums. I've listened to this music while writing a novel, dancing wildly by myself, and having a baby. Now my son and I dance together to the ethereal glory of Jordan Klassen. Thank you for giving the world your music! Favorite track: The Horses Are Stuck.
